GENESIS LIVE CHICAGO`78 , Burning Rope

ahhh
Beautiful...Benks...Lyrics:

The warming sun, the cooling rain,
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
The words of love, the cries of hate,
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you.

You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below,
But you had put the flaming out so that others could now follow,
To be out of the bounds and the barks of those who do not wish you well.

You must blaze a trail of your own, unknown, alone,
But keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal.
The only survivors on this world of ours are
The warming sun, the cooling rain,
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
The words of love, the cries of hate,
And the man in the moon who seduced you
Then finally loosed you.

You're old and disillusioned now as you realise at last,
That all all you have accomplished here will have soon all turned to
dust.
You dream of a future after life, well that's as maybe, I don't know.
But you can't take what you left behind, you're all alone.
So keep in mind
Don't live today for tomorrow like you were immortal.
The only survivors on this world of ours are
The warming sun, the cooling rain,
The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze,
The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you
Yet only eagles seem to pass on through.
The words of love, the cries of hate,
And the man in the moon..

Tony the best !!!!

[44aceofhearts]

Tony Banks has musical harmonies and melodies in every CELL of his body. He just creates more and more beauty. The amazing thing is that each song has enough melody to fill about 15 contemporary songs, but he just keeps it coming....the song flows from melody to melody without any filler...thank you Tony Banks for your talent and invention!!!!!

[millsy2010]

@amirhamra Sadly not a joke. I was upset when I read this as it horribly undermines the apparent harmony in the group. If songs like that would make you want to leave, how on earth could you sing it and play it with such conviction! Strange.....

[amirhamra]

@millsy2010 thank you ,i am sure he wanted to mark a point on tony or ... what he said is a joke ,a bad joke with a smell of revenge perhaps; i am sure he is fed up knowing that tony is the composer the real one in genesis.

[amirhamra]

@stevedrums i cannot believe phil said this , it is bizarre , i really dont understand , i am sure it is one of genesis finest,great lyrics too. ballad of big then is better ? what a shame.

BANKS FOR EVER

[onsideowl]

Just the way either Chester or Phil play the drums in the instrumental part of Burning Rope. One of my favorite versions!

[stevedrums]

@millsy2010 I agree. He made that comment in a 'Modern Drummer' interview. I thought it was a bit much when said that it "was a track like this" that made him leave Genesis. My thought was, "well it's not like you play it, so what's the point?" Anyway, it was interesting that Phil seems to have soften on the "old stuff in more recent years.

[millsy2010]

It saddened me when Phil dismissed this track in later interviews, it kind of destroyed the magic a bit. It's a wonderful tune.

Whilst he was just being genuine and honest, he would've perhaps been wiser to have understood the sensibilities of thousands of people before being quite so outspoken.This is beautiful music and thank God for all the great people on here who continue to promote it with their brilliant videos.

Brilliant

burning rope ! what a beauty that still goes on and on , One of the most beautiful lyrics also. Tony 's creativity is merciless it does not compare with any of his contemporaries, a very unique artist who sticks sincerely to what he is to what profoundly he is ,human all too human, beautiful human...
